The unit has manufacturing capacity of 9000 MT per annum and can manufacture single piece forged components, weighing from 500g to 350kg in closed die forging and 1500 kg in open die forging depending on customer specification. Fully integrated manufacturing, quality and delivery processes are designed so as to ensure flexibility in company's supply chain.

The unit specializes in manufacturing closed and open die forgings of carbon, alloy and stainless steel and has the following facilities.

Tool and Die Shop

Harihar Forging has a state of the art in-house tool and die manufacturing facility comprising multi-axis high speed milling machines. Die manufacturing is a critical task in any closed die forging operation. Our in-house die-making capability enables us to have better control on quality and the final product.

The entire facility is inter-phased with cutting edge 3D modeling software and this ensures good quality tools and dies on a consistent basis. All dies are checked with a prototype before initiating actual production. The following softwares are employed for die design and CNC programming.
